Underlining the project in Şişli - Istanbul as one of the most important investments, Emrullah Turanlı said: "We plan to implement a significant project here. The total investment amount for the project we will implement in Turkey will be close to 1 billion dollars. This project will include housing and a shopping mall. It is expected to be a project that symbolises Istanbul. The project which will feature a culture-arts centre, will begin this year. We are conducting very special works for the housing included in the project which will take 4 years to complete. This project will be in the centre of Istanbul thanks to its location. This investment will cover an area of 5000 thousand square meters."

TOURISM WILL FLUORISH
Informing about their hotel projects in Istanbul, Emrullah Turanlı continued: "The tourism industry will take a significant initiative in Turkey. We need to hold a larger market share from the India, China and Middle-East markets. Variety is crucial in tourism. We are designing various projects in this area as well. We are planning huge projects in Etiler, Şişli and Haydarpaşa in Istanbul. These projects will total 450 million dollars. Turkey used to attract 35 million tourists in its best season. This figure is now very low. However, it will rise to 50 million. Our investments will play a vital role in achieving this increase. All these investments will be launched in 2017."

ENERGY INVESTMENTS
Explaining that they are working on important projects in the field on energy as well, Turanlı explained: "We are collecting waste and converting it into biodiesel. This is a project which will also help Turkey comply with EU norms. We are now investing in the recovery of industrial waste. We are planning a 100 million dollar investment in this field. I have no reservations regarding the investment. We have full confidence in the future of Turkey. We are building a coal power plant in Çanakkale. We are working to use the domestic resources of Turkey. We will make a 350 million dollar investment in this field." Mentioning the agricultural market they established in Konya, Turanlı said "We will provide training to the farmers as they produce."

WE NEVER COMPROMISE FROM QUALITY
Talking about their efforts in many regions of TURKEY; Emrullah Turanlı said: "Wherever we plan a project, we always use the same products. In other words, we never compromise from quality. These projects define the purchasing priorities. If you are doing your job with high quality, the products used must also be of high quality. That is the reason why we use products with the highest quality in all our projects."

SALES START TO INCREASE AT FOUR WINDS
Chairman of the Board of Directors of TAŞYAPI, Emrullah Turanlı underlined the importance of the Four Winds housing project for them, and said: "Four Winds has an exquisite location. We are offering 230 houses which are 3+1, 4+1 and 5+1. The unit price per square meter range from 7 thousand to 8 thousand dollars. Our sales are good. The construction has been completed and habitation permit has been acquired. We saw a significant increase in sales after the referendum of April 16. The number of visitors received at the sales office until April 16, doubled. These are signs of economic rejuvenation."
